This sounds so fun, can’t wait to start with the Bingo!
I think it would be a great addition for next time to have some kind of reading challenge, like maybe make a selection of books from different genres available for everyone who’s participating and have everyone try some new genres.

What a fun concept! I'm looking forward to being part of Camp NetGalley. I've been a member of NetGalley for years and this seems very unique. It's a great way to catch up on your reading especially with the Bingo card. I haven't done a reading Bingo before.

Perhaps next year we can have a forum or a place where participants can discuss what they are doing as part of the camp activities. Or maybe there is already a place like this. I'll have to do more looking around.

Really excited about Camp Netgalley and to dive into all the activities this month :) I love that NetGalley and WeAreBookish are working together to mix things up and give us a "summer reading challenge" of our own! Almost like being a kid again.

Okay Netgalley, I absolutely adore this so much! I've never really been a fan of camp but I'll participate in a reading camp anyday! I love that it's available for people who have been on Netgalley for years or just starting out. I feel it's a fun way to get people motivated. It gives you a push to go ahead and read the books that have been sitting on yourself or maybe you're new and haven't really requested anything yet. There's no pressure. We're just here to have some fun.

Another thing I enjoy is everything you need to know is in the packet. It goes ahead and describes everything for you. It's very simple and not complicated at all. Plus if you complete the challenges, you end up getting a cool badge! How fun is that. People love displaying their Netgalley badges proudly.

Lastly, I love the Bingo board. I feel the bingo board helps you with exploring the site. I think it's great for new users because they can see the features of Netgalley. You can favorite publishers, vote on covers, gain badges and much more.

I think it would be fun if next year maybe do something with authors who just published new releases/have new releases coming out soon. Maybe do some interviews with them and maybe have them fill out the templates to get to know them better. I think that would be so fun.

I love the idea of this camp. I am new to NetGalley and haven't figured out enough things in order to participate in the bingo, but this is such a fun idea.

Camp Netgalley seems like a lot of fun! I'm excited to participate.
Is this where I am supposed to link my review for the talent show? That's a bit unclear but here it is: https://www.netgalley.com/book/304757/review/922122

This is my first activity of this kind with NetGalley, as I only joined about 4 months ago. I liked the downloadable content, particularly all the post and story content for use on social media. It would have been cool if participating would have resulted in access to an ARC that you can only access by being in the Camp NetGalley challenge. I'm not sure if this is a regular occurrence, but if it comes back again and if there's a 'camp theme' next time, it would be fun to have a book available for all participants which matches the theme of the camp!

I've linked a review I'm most proud of in the links section below, as requested!

So excited to participate in this! I’m looking forward to participating in the bingo and the scavenger hunt. I love that NetGalley is creating something fun to do to engage with their readers. Glad to be a NetGalley member!!

I liked the Camp NetGalley but I would have liked to see more challenges and to "read now" exclusive books for the camp, just like in the german NetGalley challenge.

Where was Camp Netgalley when I was a kid? There is not forced physical activities that my introverted self cowers away from. Instead, I get to read as many books as I want, write and submit my reviews and play a bingo card along with it for the month. It's like summer reading and book reports but for adults who actually want to do it. Also, there's no bugs. :)
This is a great way to keep your followers and reviewers engaged and welcomed onto the team. Yes, we love getting ARCs and the opportunity to read these books before most, but sometimes it might feel a little overwhelming when those publish dates are looming and we want to get the reviews posted. This just adds an extra little fun step to keep it light and enjoyable.
Thank you for making us feel valued. And giving us a fun way to earn another badge!
